Star Wars

One of the most well known and classic science fiction movies called Star Wars: A New Hope is a movie that truly changed my life. Seeing this struggle between the rebels and the evil oppressive Empire in this huge galaxy far far away, really made me develop a love for science. Seeing all this futuristic technology, lightsabers, flying ships that could travel at warp speed across the stars in minutes. It made me so fascinated with space and technology, that I started reading space, science and technology.

When you see all these various species of aliens in the movie, it makes you wonder if more life exists in the universe than just us, on this planet. Could aliens like in the movie Star Wars really exist? The movie really made me think about all these things, how we could live in space and advance our technology to this point. This movie changed my life so much, that I knew what I wanted to get into as a career in life. I ended up going to college as a computer engineer, hoping one day I can make some sort of breakthrough with our technology that will help advance everything to the level of Star Wars.
